Those who say Bonds got big just by working out 6 hours a day are fooling themselves. How do you think that he is are able to recover from those 6 hour workouts. That's right, steroids. People also say that everyone puts on size as they age. While this is true in the abstract (what's that statistic...the average guy puts on 1/2 a pound per year after age 20 or some crap like that?) when most guys thicken up, they don't do it in a bodybuilder frame. To give a personal example, I'm 5'10" and weighed a solid 195 when I left college. Now, nine years later, after many years of lifting and other excercise when I'm in my summer racing form I'm around 205 or so. I know that i haven't probably been as religious as Bonds is about my workouts (hey, pay me as much and we'll see) but we're talking about roughly a pound of muscle per year, and that's during my peak muscle gaining years! Bonds was 185 in his rookie year and most people who are close to him would estimate his current weight to be about 240-250 or so. 60 pounds is a crapload of muscle to put on over any period, regardless of age, but to do it when he did makes it all the more suspicious. [end of rant]
As for Lance, i too pray that he has never and is not doing performance enhancing drugs, but if he was, it would not be steroids. If he was doing anything it would be stuff to increase the amount of oxygen he can process in his body, not build mass; Cheryl Crow practically looks like a power forward next to him!
